im starving for...
I Want to Be your Air
I want your heart to beat because of me
I hunger from your existence, and you still don't realize my starvation
Help me, to not wither away like the empty fogged up window
Draw me a heart, and add a smiley face to prove that you've noticed me
If you don't, all you'll get is another breath on another window
Hundreds of depictions of nothing but boredom
I want to give you fun, but you can't see me
When, all I want is for you to breathe me
I want your heart to beat because of me
I hunger from your existence, and you still don't realize my starvation
Help me, to not wither away like the empty fogged up window
Draw me a heart, and add a smiley face to prove that you've noticed me
If you don't, all you'll get is another breath on another window
Hundreds of depictions of nothing but boredom
I want to give you fun, but you can't see me
When, all I want is for you to breathe me
MY ARTIST
My body is my canvass
so thirsty for your ink
craving the pain and pleasure
and all the torture that you bring
My skin is yours to decorate
or to scar with your delight
Make me bleed to calm my storm
and save me from my plight
My therapy is in your hands
and you are the doctor that I seek
give me a dose of needles
and diagnose me a freak
My thirst for ink is yours to quench
and your deliverance is my addiction
so let me drink your aggressive art
and appease my souls affliction.
I'm constantly starving for new tattoos, new pain.

-Life Force-
It runs through our veins at an unrelenting pace,
It is what we live for.
Vampirates desire it to no end,
Even though they are empty of it.
Vampirates at once had it,
Zombies and Ghosts once had it.
Now I am one who tries to use it all,
I use it all.
It is what allows us to love,
And to take risks.
Those of us that have no life,
No friends, no hobbies.
We crave it,
It is our meth.
We want it to no end,
GIVE IT TO ME!!!
We live on life,
Life is our drug.
It runs through our veins at an unrelenting pace,
It is what we live for.
Vampirates desire it to no end,
Even though they are empty of it.
Vampirates at once had it,
Zombies and Ghosts once had it.
Now I am one who tries to use it all,
I use it all.
It is what allows us to love,
And to take risks.
Those of us that have no life,
No friends, no hobbies.
We crave it,
It is our meth.
We want it to no end,
GIVE IT TO ME!!!
We live on life,
Life is our drug.

I Need You
Moisten my lips
with your tongue
Give my body goosebumps
as you run your fingers
across every inch of my skin
Caress every peak and curve
leaving nothing un touched
Warm my neck with your breath
at the same time
giving me the chills
Then heat me up
with your naked body
pressed against mine
Dance with me
under the sheets
I want your sweat
to drip down on me
Satisfy my hunger
with your forbidden fruit
I need my fantasy
to become reality
Moisten my lips
with your tongue
Give my body goosebumps
as you run your fingers
across every inch of my skin
Caress every peak and curve
leaving nothing un touched
Warm my neck with your breath
at the same time
giving me the chills
Then heat me up
with your naked body
pressed against mine
Dance with me
under the sheets
I want your sweat
to drip down on me
Satisfy my hunger
with your forbidden fruit
I need my fantasy
to become reality

Sigh
My wanting doesn't end
because I've had you
beneath the sheets
My craving won't subside
to feel you from within
clinging to every thrust
My need is omnipresent
for a little bit of heaven
when you pull me close
The seconds fail to erase
my unending search
for your piercing stare
I long to speak
without my voice
traveling through distance
I scream your name
into the matted space
between touch and pain
I sigh with weighted breath
for more than your echo
to sustain
My wanting doesn't end
because I've had you
beneath the sheets
My craving won't subside
to feel you from within
clinging to every thrust
My need is omnipresent
for a little bit of heaven
when you pull me close
The seconds fail to erase
my unending search
for your piercing stare
I long to speak
without my voice
traveling through distance
I scream your name
into the matted space
between touch and pain
I sigh with weighted breath
for more than your echo

That Which Stills the Mind
There must be something
of miracles in the iridescent longing
that solitude inks upon my skin
I learn what it means to be human
by the currents of loneliness
that ebb and wane in secret
There is nothing immortal in loss
and I, for one, have given much to time
which serves the whims of no man
There must be something
of miracles in the iridescent longing
that solitude inks upon my skin
I learn what it means to be human
by the currents of loneliness
that ebb and wane in secret
There is nothing immortal in loss
and I, for one, have given much to time
which serves the whims of no man
Your Free Flowing River
Take me down
To where your free-flowing river runs uninhibited
Take me down to your secret garden
To where your nectar is the sweetes
Take me down to your joy
To where your delight grows expectantly
Take me down to your ecstasy
To where your sex comes strong
Take me down,take me down
I want to be free with you.
I want to feast on you
Take me down, take me down
To your free flowing river.
Take me down
To where your free-flowing river runs uninhibited
Take me down to your secret garden
To where your nectar is the sweetes
Take me down to your joy
To where your delight grows expectantly
Take me down to your ecstasy
To where your sex comes strong
Take me down,take me down
I want to be free with you.
I want to feast on you
Take me down, take me down
To your free flowing river.
Conflicted
You give me hope then snatch it back,
You light a flame that doesn't stay lit.
All l can think of is what l lack...
And the mixed signals you emit.
Why do you save me,
Only to leave me for dead?
Is this all just to break me?
To mess with my head?
You weaseled into my heart,
Past all my walls.
You've become my strongest drug,
With the most painful withdrawals.
I'm so strongly addicted,
And I don't know why l take more.
I end up so conflicted,
Thinking rejections in store.
But I come back to run away,
Over and over again.
Each and every day,
I anticipate seeing you again.
Logic screams no,
But my heart has always run me.
Common sense has never been,
My final authority.
Im starving for you,
But you leave me to fade away.
Making me sick with this hunger,
It's a dirty game that you play.
But am l the prize?
Or simple a pawn.
Oh how you entice me...
When you lead me on.
I'm wherever you want me,
Through love and war.
I just wish you could see...
That I want so much more.
Than a spark when we touch.
If I asked you to kiss me,
Would that be too much?
You give me hope then snatch it back,
You light a flame that doesn't stay lit.
All l can think of is what l lack...
And the mixed signals you emit.

Only to leave me for dead?

Viddax said:I Hunger for Hunger? Asked the Giant of Spirit
I Hunger for Hunger,
Unsated in my satisfaction
Or so they say.
I grow and expand no more than my borders.
Consuming more information
Following more and more poets
Each meal filling enough.
For I am content and satisfied.
What do I know of hunger?
Or of desire for that matter?
Unlike others I am not focussed on filling myself on hunger
I do not feast on my wants and needs
I know of hunger
And of desire
- I overcome them.
No aching appetites for this miniature brobdingnagian!
- A giant striding below bonsai trees.
Yet titanic liliputians climb high with small minds
- Exclaiming, claiming and shouting in tiny voices
Of their massive hunger for minute meals.
I dine on reduced rations.
It seems I starve appetites as they have;
Where enough is never enough
Each meal is a fast,
Each feast means munchies
Each dinner makes more desire.
How strange are these who cannot and will not be fed,
Who moth-flock to the Sun in to be hungry,
While I am fed on all under and of the Sun.
Think of a quiet giant of spirit who needs no hunger while the Small cry out for more.

It flutters and lands as it digs it’s claws
deep within the skin
The smooth surface thin, untouched, serene
Licking its lips it infests and rips,
Launches hungrily below
the glow of your obscene self
The sound of its pleasure sickeningly fulfilling
And your better judgment temporarily yielding
As you surrender to the thoughts,
Their plots intoxicating like ecstasy
You breathe deep, swallow whole,
Engulfing, embracing, ravenous for the disease
That bubbles to the top
You clench your jaw, bite your lip,
Fight the sip, but refuse to stop.
The beating continues,
Repeating what you now know
is receding what you knew,
But you refuse to stop
‘Cause though your insides feel slim,
Though your limbs tear desperately apart,
mind from heart, soul from mind
As you undeniably let little pieces of yourself
get diseased within themselves
as they roam, roam blind
You can’t help but find within your soul that you’ve won.
Because you’re sick with love,
infected quite sure,
By the lure of the bug as it tugs at your strings
and makes beautiful music
with your minds aches and screams
deep within the skin
The smooth surface thin, untouched, serene
Licking its lips it infests and rips,
Launches hungrily below
the glow of your obscene self
The sound of its pleasure sickeningly fulfilling
And your better judgment temporarily yielding
As you surrender to the thoughts,
Their plots intoxicating like ecstasy

Engulfing, embracing, ravenous for the disease

despite right now i got no cash
it doesn't mean that my life is crushed
i dont need to speak rude as to be harsh
all i will focus is reality and be fast
i dream to have millions and my own cab
be the best in everything i pass
winning to become a responsibility and a must
girls to love me my wealth and my cars
i dont need ONE MIC like Nas
all i need is ONE pen before i bust
so that the whole world to know how i kick it hard.
im starving for my dream everyday
i have to be in DU with something new to create
enter into any competition just for the trophy and fame
work with poets i never see face to face
to hell with the money which i dont get
when the reading lists inbox and fame
nice comments that i get every day
i know im in that direction to be the best
that's my story of what im yearning to get
and every poet in DU knows it better than i would say.
